CURRITUCK, N.C. — As the labor shortage continues, restaurants and hotels aren’t the only ones who need more staff.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation Ferry Division had to temporarily shut down one of their routes to re-allocate their workers.
People living on Knotts Island now must take the long way around to get to Currituck because the Currituck-Knotts Island Ferry is closed until Saturday, July 31.
